Chicago Bulls: 3 reasons Zach LaVine should accept Dunk Contest invite
By Ryan Heckman
2. Do it for the fans
Obviously LaVine would be making the city of Chicago proud, but should he accept the invite, there will be even more reason and motivation for Bulls fans to not only tune in, but care a lot about the All Star Weekend.
With the event being in Chicago, of course there will be plenty of Bulls fans in attendance at the United Center. It’s a blast of an event and Chicago fans deserve the excitement.
Fans all over Illinois likely spend money on tickets to see other teams’ stars more so than their own Bulls throughout the season. This is a weekend where Bulls fans will get to see their favorite players from other squads. Players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, among others, will be in attendance to put on a show at The UC.
What’s more exciting than seeing all of the league’s stars on one court at the same time than to also see one of your city’s own take the stage in what is normally the weekend’s most anticipated event?
If LaVine takes the invite and runs with it, he would bring smiles to all Bulls fans’ faces. I know I can speak on behalf of all of them when I say we would be thrilled.
